@joil04 No, Vanek didn't put himself offside and I already commented on why earlier. But for your edification:

From Rule 83 - Off-side (NHL Official Rules):

"... However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,” provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line."

I'm a level 4....you don't realize how many times coaches (and fans) argue this.....and moreover, how many refs still call it wrong. Many of them don't understand the rule still.

@gumpcd0315 You are mistaken. From Rule 83 - Off-side (NHL Official Rules):

"... However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,” provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line."
